Hi Friends! We have another monster release from Pinkfresh Studio to share with you! How does it keep getting better? I don't know, but wait until you see all the smartly designed sets of stamps/dies/layering stencils, and even some stand-alone layering stencils for customizing backgrounds.
You may have arrived from the blog of Keia Shipp-Smith, but if not feel free to start at the beginning with Pinkfresh Studio.
Too early for Christmas? Nope, not with some fun colors and this Stars Layering Stencil set.
Grab a set of ink pads and start blending ink dark to light for each of the three layers of stencils. Then cut the cardstock into a triangle and you've got a festive tree with tiny star ornaments. Of course it's a great match for a mini-slim card.
Here's a good close up at the letters and dimension (Lea's Ornate Uppercase Alphas). The star is from Shaker Stars in a recent release.
You can also use individual layers of the star stencils to add details, like the tiny stars I added in the background on the top of this card. Speaking of background, those lovely stripes belong to the Slimline Plaid Layering Stencil Set. Will be using that one a ton!
Here's another use for the layering star stencils, a stardust trail! I made a quick template from copy paper and stenciled through the template.
The die cut big stars are again from the Shaker Star Dies. I layered a few of them, big and small, added the alphas, sentiment strips and gems. Lots going on here.
Speaking of gems, I added some to the stenciled stardust area at the last minute (first photo doesn't have them). Undecided which way I like it, maybe you have a preference?
The background is from the Slimline Plaid Layering Stencil Set. Lots of great options to tie the colors in from your main design when you use this plaid builder.
Here's a workhorse set of layering stencils from the English Garden Stamp and Die set released last month.
I was going for a lush wreath vibe, so I layered an extra set of
florals on top of the main wreath. This set comes with 5 additional sets
of flower clusters, aside from the wreath, so you have a ton of
options.
Blended some ink in the sentiment area (which also comes with this set). Love that I was able to create this entire card, aside from the stitched background, with just one set of products!
Here's my final card for this hop, made with the Sweet Friend suite of products (stamp, die, layering stencils). What I love about this, and all of the recent Pinkfresh die sets, is that they are designed to cut out all the elements AT THE SAME TIME!! So super efficient! Because really, after coloring five different flowers, who wants to line up five different dies? Nope. All of the flower pieces are one stamp, which lets you have one die perfectly spaced to cut them all out at once. Magical!
Having separate flower elements is great for getting a nice custom look. I like to just adhere the flowers at the bottom of the stem. That way the flower can stick out and give you great dimension.
The frame of this card is again from the stripes in the Slimline Plaid Layering Stencil Set. Both sentiments come with this stamp set. This was a fun one to put together, and I liked tucking in my leftover small butterfly to add another color to the blue card
